Removed pressure plate, clutch facings and driver to check their condition. The two clutch facings seem to be relatively new (after market) but the pressure plate has some minimal radial surface cracks in the vicinity of the three bolt holes. Question. If they are surface cracks only and the driver disk is in good conditon, should I look into replacing it? Not using the tractor for any work, just tinkering and riding around on. Thanks,
Bob

I was looking for one for my 36 B since it had minimal cracks and found out that most used stuff was in worse shape than mine. The JD restoration mechanics here told me to run it and not worry about it unless I was going to work it really hard. Which is what caused the cracks in the first place.

Bob I am not going to speculate on your question, but I was wondering if you can help me out?

I have a 1940 B also and the gas(large)tank spout where the cap is does not protrude above the hood. Small tank is fine. Does yours? If your does would you measure the neck for me? I have been told that mine is a repair but it measures the same as a 1945 of a friend of mine and looks to be a factory weld around neck.

Gary;
I measured mine - appears to be factory and it is 2" above the top of the tank surface, leaving approximately 3/8" above the tin. The neck on the small tank measures 2-7/8" above the surface of the small tank.

Thanks for that info, I guess mine has been repaired at one time, it only measures 1 inch above the top of the tank. Something else to be on the look out for I guess.
Thanks again.
